Ebbie, CoolEdit '97 and Goldwave are both progams I have used on a PC to record from my MD recorder. HAve Sony's R700 and it works like a charm. As they said above, Mini(1/8" or 3.5mm)Stereo plug on both ends of the cable, from the headphone jack of the MD to the Line-In of your computer (should be marked) and the software. Others are available to do the job, the two above are ones I've tried and found easy to use. CoolEdit '97 is hard to find these days.Another thread on topic is:
